Tasting profile
Structure: medium-bodied, medium tannin, high acidity, dry
Piccini's Chianti Classico Riserva is classic Sangiovese: dried-cherry fruit and bright acidity, with leather, tobacco and dried herbs from the Riserva's longer ageing. It is medium-bodied, with firm but polished tannins. A reliable, traditionally styled Tuscan red for the table, it softens and turns more savoury over its first decade.
Serving: Serve at 15–17 °C.
